Calibration measurements of thin heat flux sensors for building applications are presented. The findings support the continued development of precision and bias
Nanometer-scale plowing friction and wear of a polycarbonate thin film were directly measured using an atomic force microscope (AFM) with nanoscratching

Comparisons are made between calculations and measured angle-resolved light scattering distributions from clear dielectric isotropic epoxy coatings over a range
We used a novel toroidal cross capacitor to measure accurately the dielectric polarizability e(p) (i.e., the dielectric constant) of helium, argon, nitrogen

The Declarative Data Essence (DDE) Ad-hoc Group of the D27 Technical Committee of the Society for Motion Picture and Television Engineers [SMPTE] is developing
Results are presented of lateral force measurements using the atomic force microscope (AFM) and the Surface Forces Apparatus (SFA). Two different probes are
Two-phase aluminum-silicon-based alloys are widely used for premium quality castings for aerospace and automotive applications. While it is clear that silicon
We present several region-dependent Green's functions for anisotropic bimaterials in two-dimensional elasticity and steady-state heat transfer problems. The
Effective medium theory is used to obtain a closed form expression for the porosity dependence of the bulk moduli of ceramics. The theory is illustrated with an
Simple explicit relations are presented for the onset of competing fracture modes in ceramic coatings on compliant substrates from Hertzian-like contacts

We have used Grazing Incidence X-ray Reflectometry (GIXR) to study surface oxidation as a diffusion barrier for Al deposited on ferromagnetic metals (Co, Fe, Ni
We analyze a two-dimensional phase field model designed to describe the dynamics of crystalline grains. The phenomenological free energy is a function of a
